i think its laughable that you think the thunder should just "overcome" the terrible officiating...like they should be above the officials or something...that's laughable...ha ha...just overcome your best player having to sit for long periods of time in the nba finals due to garbage calls...just overcome lebon james every time anyone touches him gets called for ticky tack calls that put james at the line for 2 shots over and over just overcome missed foul calls on your superstar in final one possession games that could have tied the game...just overcome

please...and those stats you pump out like hot cakes mean squat if you look at things in a game by game and possession by possession basis...it's just ignorant

blaming the officials is standard operating procedure for sore losers. I mean, what else are you going to do? surely you are not going to admit that miami is just the better team with the better talent. Ofcourse not. You sound like you are just a bit too dissappointed that your thunder are letting you down, face it, there good but not "that" good yet. They have issues that needs fixing on that team and outside of ibaka there defense stinks. Officials dont determine nba finals outcome, the players performances do, period. If the officials are favoring miami so much like u say miami would have beaten the mavs last year in the finals. Mavs beat the heat with these so called officials that favor the heat like u say, the better team will always prevail, just not your thunder though, they are "special" , just stop dude.

First off, I said the NBA isn't rigged. I completely agree that the Heat outplayed the Thunder in games 3 and 4. My only issue with the officiating was in game 2 on the final play.

again, your blaming a hole game on 1 crucial play that was questinable whether it was a foul or not, the officials didnt think so and neither did i. There was body to body contact but to me it did not look like it warranted a foul. Durant was in the air and never lost his balance and got a great shot off, he just choked and missed a great look. Even if the thunder tie the game it still doesnt mean they win that game, miami gets the ball back tied up with a chance to win a buzzer beater. That game was favored to go the heat the hole way thru and thru, the thunder tried to steal it and choked, some ppl can accept it, some cant, point blank period.

i'm not even a thunder fan...so in the end it doesn't matter all that much to me...although i'd like to see em get a fair shake...and they haven't

that's your only issue with the officiating??? yeesh...

hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus" for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!

by the way the mavs beat the heat last year cause jason terry straight iced em from long range in the clutch and jason kidd hit some big 3's off the kick out and in the 4th quarter nowitzki stepped it up...that and the mavs zone d gave the heat fits...zone still gives bron and wade problems...and finally cause bron did not have a good series

Ignorant is the fact that you're putting this whole series on officiating...that's what's ignorant! There's PLENTY of reasons why the Heat are outplaying the Thunder so far...everyone here has given you fair reasons why the Miami Heat are up 3-1, but you stand by you stand by you bullheaded argument of blaming the refs! It's preposterous quite frankly.

To me, it just sounds personal and sour grapes because you happen to be a Boston Celtics fan and you REFUSE to give the LBJ & the Heat any credit for taking this series so far since they happened to beat your team. But hey, one opinion is not going to change the fact that the Miami Heat have been a better team so far. So again, sulk all you want about the refs...tell us to get lost because "we don't know what we're talking about". In the end, the truth will be told. Thank you!

I just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.

that had nothing to do with officiating...

Uhhhh, this year no one on the Thunder is icing them from long range in the clutch. In the 4th quarter, the "big" star for the Thunder (Durant) isn't stepping up in the clutch on a consistent basis. The Miami Heat ARE making the offensive adjustments to whatever the Thunder throw at them defensively. And finally, last but not least...LeBron is having a GREAT finals so far! All that has NOTHING to do with officiating.

i could care less what it sounds like to you...i guess i got to go on a basketball board if i want to talk hoops...the people that can here are few and far between...

just stop...you sound more lost by the minute...durant hasn't been stepping up in the 4th quarters and in the clutch...ha ha...what game are you watching...clueless

Just like he did last night right? Batman deferring to Robin because he couldn't handle the big moment! Same thing they said about LeBron last year right??? In the meantime, LBJ is hitting CLUTCH 3 pointers on a crampy leg. Oh, but yeah, I bet it was THAT was the refs fault too, right?
